Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a communication intervention about sexuality on quality of life and other outcomes like physical activity, exercise capacity and health status in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Optical Coherence Tomography （OCT）is a novel, non-invasive, high resolution special optical imaging techniques. In airway, Measure airway area and airway wall thickness is the most usage of Endobronchial Optical Coherence Tomography (EB-OCT）. Recently, the new protocol of EB-OCT is used to measure airway compliance, We will establish a new methodology of EB-OCT for measuring airway compliance, which will provide a new means to study respiratory diseases.
To evaluate the feasibility of the MYOTRACE NRD (Neural Respiratory Drive) index as an aid to assess the respiratory status of a patient (improving or stable versus deteriorating) as compared to a specialist in thoracic medicine's evaluation in a general care setting.
The primary goal of this non-profit single-centre randomized pilot interventional study is to evaluate the acceptability of a daily telemonitoring of five vital parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and body temperature) using a medical device in advanced cancer patients with relevant cardiovascular and respiratory comorbidities assisted at home. In addition to the standard home care, participants in the intervention group will keep the medical device at home. They will register five vital parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, blood pressure, and body temperature) once a day for eight weeks. Participants belonging to the control group will receive standard home care. The secondary goals of this study include the following: - Analyzing the effect of telemonitoring on patients' quality of life and psychological status. - Observing the possible effects of telemonitoring on the caregiver care burden. - Assessing the possible effects of telemonitoring on the caregiver perceived satisfaction with the home care received. - Comparing the number of physician and nurse home visits and phone calls between the patients using the device and patients in standard home care. - Comparing the number of emergency room visits, admissions, and hospitalization days between the patients using the device and patients in standard home care.
A retrospective study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of an Artificial Intelligence enabled software (ArtiQ.Spiro) in UK primary care spirometry datasets.
Patients with lung disease who report breathlessness on exertion are often referred for a 6MWT. Due to the nature of the 6MWT (hereon referred to as a Max-6MWT), patients are required to walk as far as they can in 6 minutes. This may lead to an inaccurate assessment of their requirement for ambulatory oxygen as this form of exercise may not correspond to their normal daily activities. In this study, patients who are routinely referred for a Max-6MWT to investigate possible exercise-induced hypoxaemia will be invited to perform an additional walking test which is performed at their normal walking speed, referred here on in as a Nor_6MWT. We hypothesise that performing a Nor_6MWT will provide a more accurate assessment of a patients' oxygen requirement, primarily from their oxygen desaturation during the test.
Approximately 8% of all births occur between 30-36 weeks of gestation ('moderate-late' prematurity). Respiratory tract infections (RTI) and wheezing illnesses disproportionally affect preterm infants resulting in a 1.5-2 fold higher hospitalisation rate during the first years of life compared to term born children. Besides prematurity, several other postnatal modifiable influencing factors are associated with increased risk of respiratory morbidity and impaired pulmonary development. These factors include RTI, rapid weight gain, air pollution, tobacco smoke exposition, vitamin D deficiency, maternal stress and antibiotic usage. The investigators hypothesize that a follow-up program aiming at prevention of modifiable influencing factors can reduce respiratory morbidity in moderate and late prematurity. Objectives: To reduce respiratory disease burden in moderate-late preterm infants in the first 18 months of life
It is known that the inhalation (nebulizer) use of drugs is of great importance in the intensive care of patients with acute and chronic respiratory failure of various origins. Searching PubMed data for the last 5 years (2017-2022) for the keywords "nebulizer therapy" revealed 533 publications, and "mesh nebulizer therapy" - only 25 sources. During the same period, the national database (E-Library) has 75 publications for the keywords "nebulizer therapy", and 4 sources for "mesh nebulizer therapy". It should be noted that almost all publications are devoted to the use of nebulizers for specific diseases and pathological syndromes. There are no works evaluating the adherence of specialists, systemic indications and actually used methods. The aim of trial is to study the current state of the use of nebulizer therapy in medical organizations and identify ways to improve its effectiveness This study is planned to be carried out using a questionnaire using a database based on the Internet electronic survey form.
This goal of this study is to assess the suitability of the HealthBeacon Injection Care Management System (ICMS) as a Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) device for patients on injectable medications in the home-setting, for the management of respiratory disorders. The HealthBeacon ICMS is composed of the Smart Sharps Bin, Companion App and Care Team support. The Smart Sharps Bin a digitally connected sharps container and is pre-programmed with a patient's injection schedule. It creates a time-stamped record of each used injection deposited into it to calculate a patients' adherence to treatment. Following disposal, the next date of injection and rotating injection site is updated without requiring any extra work on behalf of the patient. The system also proactively supports enhanced compliance through a series of smart dose reminders and intervention calls, to help patients stay on track. Clinical teams can then review patient adherence data remotely via an online platform. The main aims of this study include the following: - To demonstrate the suitability of the HealthBeacon ICMS as an RTM device for respiratory patients through successful billing and reimbursement for physicians - To provide data to support the reimbursement of the HealthBeacon ICMS by Private Payors in the future Participants prescribed injectable medication for the treatment of a diagnosed respiratory condition will be enrolled by the Principal Investigator (PI) and referred to HealthBeacon. Participants will then be provided with access to the HealthBeacon ICMS to remotely track and support their adherence to treatment in the home-setting. Participants will use the system for 6 months and their adherence data during this time will be collected, which the PI and clinical team involved will be able to remotely access and review. At various stages of the study, the applicable RTM codes will be billed for, for each participant. These stages include when providing each participant with access to the HealthBeacon system, including the Smart Sharps Bin, when providing each participant with education on how to use the device, and when the clinical team monitors each individual patients' adherence data collected by the HealthBeacon system on a monthly basis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and the mid-term effects of a pulmonary rehabilitation intervention, delivered by digital App, on quality of life of patients affected by respiratory diseases. The App will include a monitored exercise training program based on most recent cardiopulmonary rehabilitation guidelines, including alerts, reminders and educational contents as well as chat and online visits with healthcare professionals to improve patient engagement.
